I personally do not like #45. He’s a racist. I can’t even say his name nor acknowledge he’s the President of the United States. But, he is. And as a Christian, I have decided to pray for him. This is not easy for me at all. I'm going to do my best to be authentic… Continue reading #45 Is Who He Is – Ain’t No Changing Him!

I’m angry. I’m frustrated. I’m sad. I’m scared. I’m tired. I’m sick AND tired. I’m a black woman, a wife and a mom. Today’s not guilty verdict rendered for #PhilandoCastile’s murderer has filled me with so many overwhelming emotions that I can’t even begin to articulate how I feel right now.

Dear Good Cops, Where are you? Will you ever speak up? Will you hold your colleagues, partners, system accountable for the many black lives that die unnecessarily at their hands? This letter isn’t for black cops only. It is for all cops who place themselves in the “good’ category. I understand and appreciate that there… Continue reading An Open Letter to Good Cops
